Re:Toward Go 2 on Thursday July 13, 2017 @03:27PM (#14764383)
I like that Go don't allows unused import and variables.

If you're working with inexperienced programmers (and some experienced but bad programmers), you should be certain that they WILL let that code garbage there if the compiler allow it.

Minify [1] is a great alternative, specially if you use Go. For simple case, you don't need Node ou NPM at all.

Awesome that this even work well on mobile browsers!

Is this open source? So we could see how it was made?

Re:22 Years of Delphi and It Still Rocks on Wednesday February 15, 2017 @07:37AM (#13651562)
Delphi is still popular in the south of Brazil. It's dying, but slowly.

There's a lot a legacy application written in Delphi here. Some old programmers, that only know to program in Delphi, may even build new apps with it.

It may not be that modern today, but there's the "pay the bills" mindset.

I think Delphi will die, but only because it costs a fortune today. If it had a resonable price, many people would continue to use it indeterminately.

Re:Gitea – A community-managed fork of Gogs on Monday January 02, 2017 @05:03AM (#13300232)
The number of files is thus big because Gitea have its dependencies on the vendor/ folder, but Gogs no.

Even this is the case, Gitea has a lot a bug fixes that are still pending on Gogs.

We can for sure understand that one is not available all time. Everyone has a life, and sometimes need many weeks away, etc.

This is not the reason of the fork. The reason is that he refuses to give more people write access to the project to keep it going.

Before the first time he went AFK, he even removed write access from the 2 or 3 other people that had it.

Re:Gitea – A community-managed fork of Gogs on Sunday January 01, 2017 @04:53PM (#13297590)
Yep. The first time was until the owner came back, but he refused to merge the changes on Gogs. The community stopped with Gitea when this happened.

This time, the community patience ended, and Gitea will continue on its own way.

Re:Gitea – A community-managed fork of Gogs on Sunday January 01, 2017 @04:45PM (#13297550)
It will be hosted on a Gitea instance soon. It wasn't done yet because of few missing features, etc.

They will probably port that, and Hangouts, Google Drive and others, to extensions, I think.
Re:The State of Vue on Sunday August 14, 2016 @10:11AM (#12285617)
Here the changelog: https://github.com/vuejs/vue/issues/2873

I love VueJS. I found it very easy, specially when you aren't building a SPA, but want something more powerful than jQuery without being overkill like React.

Re:Static files in Go on Wednesday August 10, 2016 @07:25AM (#12260824)
The better tool I know for this use case is fileb0x[1]. It work for all my needs, has some features that the alternatives lack.

Re:Go Packaging Proposal Process on Friday July 29, 2016 @09:24AM (#12186612)
Hi

(I've tried Glide but it slowness and few bugs made me move to Govendor. Nothing personal, it just didn't work out that well for me.)

A few questions:

- Is the intention desincentive the use vendoring?

- Is the intention to make a single solution, and then deprecate existing tools (Glide, Govendor and like)?

- Do you have the intention to make a central registry for Go packages? Or the solution will use GitHub and like, as it does today? It would be not backward compatible, but the document don't make this clear.

Re:React Is a Terrible Idea on Friday July 15, 2016 @01:11PM (#12102422)
Yes, but with Vue it is optional. With React, it's required to use the tooling, specially because doing React without JSX is not fun.
